User blog comment:Cpt Crimson/DmC sales way lower than dmc4's/@comment-11229207-20130308033308

I'm not surprised at this at all. I can honsetly say DmC is my least favorite of the DMC franchise, and no it has nothing to do with Dante's hair color. I, and a lot of other people saw a leak of the final level, and we saw new Dante with his white haired costume (whoever played it had already unlocked it) so it's not that. The gameplay is fun, but not as fun as DMC3 and DMC4, and frankly after I beat the game, I had planned on doing another playthrough to get the rest of the upgrades. But I got board, in contrast to DMC3 which I first beat when I was 13, and is still as fun as ever. The story was kinda bland, now I know what you're thinking "DMC's never been about great story telling". I know but Capcom and Ninja Theory, promissed a great story, one that could rival movies, and they didn't deliver. Also we know the stories of the old games weren't great (although I personally liked DMC1 and DMC3's stories, DMC4 wasn't bad, but wasn't great, and DMC2 was well DMC2) we said that. I've been on the DMC facebook page and there were people who would result to bashing the original storyline. We tried telling them "DMC was never about great story telling", and preach all about how DmC would have a great story and make us forget about the original "crappy" story. Now that the game is out, if we say "DmC's story is boring", the response we now get is "DMC's never been about great story telling", hypocrites. The game is way to easy, I first played DMC3 when I was 13 and it was one of the hardest games I ever played. Naturally DMC3 made me hesitent to ever play a DMC game on the higher difficulties, but from what I heard about DmC I decided to ignore that and go straight to hard, I'm glad I did, any easier and I think I would've gotten board even quicker. Also I miss the original Dante's humor, and the way he would always show off, sure he could be a bit chessy, but that's what made him so fun to watch. Being purposely chessy for humorous effect, is diffrent then trying to be cool and coming of ass chessy. The new Dante's boring, and he's not funny. Anyway people said "If you don't like DmC, the don't buy it". Well people didn't buy it, this is what happens when you alienate a fanbase. Capcom only has themselves to blame.
